Tesla say "Thank You" To Their Rock & Roll Heroes With The Release Of Real
To Reel June 5 On Tesla Electric Company Recordings; Major Summer Tour
Forthcoming

Tesla -- Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitars), Brian Wheat (bass), Troy
Luccketta (drums) and Dave Rude (guitar) -- has always been revered as a
bluesy, no-frills, '70s-style hard rock band, concentrating on solid
musicianship more than the trends of modern music. Now, after selling over
16 million albums worldwide since bursting onto the scene in 1986, they're
paying homage to their hard rock heroes on their sixth studio album, Real To
Reel

Real To Reel -- produced by Tesla and Tom Zutaut and recorded at the Sonic
Ranch in Tornillo, TX -- is a two-disc 25-song collection of classic rockers from
the '60s and '70s, recorded through a vintage Neve console directly to
Ampex 456 analog tape to capture the purity of these timeless and legendary
songs. Songs include: "Space Truckin'," "I've Got A Feeling," "Ball of
Confusion," "All The Young Dudes" and "Street Fighting Man."

The second disc containing the remaining 12 songs was only available during
the summer 2007 along the band's tour route with the purchase of a concert
ticket. And can be sparsley found in stores.

Tesla first tested out some of their favorite rock classics with their fans in the
summer of 2006 during the "Electric Summer Jam" tour (the first tour with
guitarist Dave Rude, who replaced original guitarist Tommy Skeoch). While
UFO's "Rock Bottom" went down like a storm to a standing, cheering,
grandstand crowd of 10,000 in Milwaukee, Black Sabbath's "War Pigs"
engaged 6,000 people in Lansing, Michigan so much that they refused to
leave during a torrential rainstorm which lasted throughout the entire two-
hour show. After getting such a positive reaction from their fans, the band
knew making Real To Reel was a logical next step for them.

"Real To Reel is a collection of songs that inspired us back in the day when we
first heard them in the '70s," says singer Jeff Keith. "We originally had a large
list of songs in mind for the record, and we had a lot of fun picking out the
ones that ultimately made it onto the album. Making music is all about feeding
off of your inspirations and putting your own touches to it. We feel we've
accomplished this to the highest extent."

In talking about the first single, "Thank You," Keith explains, "That's my
favorite song on the album, and it's funny because we never discussed
covering that particular song. We went back and forth about a lot of Led
Zeppelin songs. We had planned on doing 'The Song Remains The Same,' and
it was Frank who thought we should do 'Thank You' instead. The guys
actually recorded it while I was at my casita feeding the abandoned pups and
their mom that I found in a vacant lot. When I returned to the studio and
heard what they did, I was so blown away that it inspired me to sing what I
think is my best vocal performance on the record. When I finished recording
in one take, it was just mind-blowing. Everyone in the studio was in tears.
Sometimes that's how it works and that's the beauty of making music. We all
felt it was the perfect choice for the first single. If you think about Tesla, the
lyrical message of the lyrics throughout the years, they're very similar to
'Thank You.' It's that same positive message that we try to get across in
every Tesla song. It's a sacrilegious song to cover and we didn't think we'd do
it justice, but we were up for the challenge.

"Jimmy Page once told Brian that he had bought the Five Man Acoustical Jam
record and thought it was a really great album. That was a huge thrill for us
to hear because we've always had a love of Led Zeppelin and they were so
important to all of us growing up. There's always been this reverence for
Zeppelin. So hearing Jimmy Page say he loved Tesla too, we were honored
and it enlightened our spirits. Led Zeppelin inspired us to be a band in the first
place."

The Sacramento band has proven themselves to be a long-lasting force in the
rock world, one that could still compete with all the new rock bands that had
sprung up between 1996-2000 (the time period when Tesla had disbanded),
while most of their contemporaries from the late '80s were stuck in classic
rock nostalgia. Rolling Stone called their sophomore album, The Great Radio
Controversy, "a shining example of what can happen when a talented band
puts on blinders, ignores what everybody else is selling and forges ahead on
instinct."
